BusinessInsider: The Special Forces community is coping with the deaths of six of its elite operators in just a 72-hour span last week.
Separate combat incidents in Afghanistan and Jordan resulted in the deaths of five Green Berets, while another died during scuba training at the Special Forces diving school in Florida.
“They are in dark corners of the world and even their training is very dangerous,” Jen Paquette, the executive director of the Green Beret Foundation, wrote on Facebook.
Staff Sgt. David Whitcher, 30, died Wednesday during a dive training exercise off the coast of Key West, Florida, according to US Army Special Operations Command. He was previously assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. MORE
And mean while our Commander a Chief is campaigning for a criminal and encouraging everyone in the world to vote in our election.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
If you’re not in a war to win it and win it with overpowering force you are selfishly sacrificing your troops for political purposes.
This president needs to be jailed and executed for treason.
I know. Fat chance of that happening but you can’t put a paltry force in a dangerous hell hole like Afghanistan or you end up like Benghazi.
And what are we doing in Jordan now?
God bless these fallen sent on impossible missions with insufficient resources.
Fuck you obama. You own this shit, motherfucking asshole.
Rest in Peace Brothers, You’ve done your duty. (Your Commander in Chief did not deserve your loyalty.)
I’ve heard from lots of military men that they won’t reenlist if Clinton gets elected. I met a young Marine veteran of two tours who left because he couldn’t stand serving with odd types. Not that the military shouldn’t be in the forefront of political correctness.
Obama’s incompetence built this.
Rest in Peace Warriors.
@cato. It’s not incompetence it’s intentional. I’m tired of people attributing the actions of this America hating muslin half breed to incompetence.
Let’s call it what it is. TREASON.
The loss to our nation, and to their families, defies measurement by any criteria!
marco, you are correct, morale is all-time low
and i must say (although my heritage relates to alex hamilton from my mom’s side, and we have all been represented in every war since) that i will look at america completely differently if it elects this corrupt criminal, and no longer believe in signing to defend to the death
they can go f themselves
Wonder what they knew about the Clintons?
